Faith Is A Constant

Romans 1:18-21 teaches that all (adults of course) know there is a God, "for God hath shewed it unto them" (v19). What did He show the unbelievers ("ungodly men" v18)? That creation itself is enough evidence for anyone to know there is a God (v20); then to seek Him out. "they knew God" (v21).

Regardless of what generation this passage addresses, it's the same issue throughout this life with mankind.

Hi, I suggest that there are many god's for one to to  "see".  That creation cries out does not mean that Yeshua is recognized as creator. 

I heard presentations of many so called gospels and theories of beginnings and endings several times a day, daily, for years, as a director of funerals. I knew personally most of the local leaders of various competing and conflicting religious sects. Did I believe a one of them? No.

Sorry, you've lost me with your sophistry. Atheism is what it says on the label. Just talk to one and they will tell you they don't believe in God. 

Not believe in Him, that's faith and trust in Him. You mean believe about Him, that He is real (Ro 1:19-21).

Hi, and thanks for the reply! Nobody can see a god that doesn't exist; and nobody will see the only God until latter.

Creation does cry out that there is a Creator. Nobody can avoid knowing He's the one and only God. He has shown to all that He is real, because all see His creative power of the universe (Ro 1:19, 20).

Hi! Notice it doesn't say anything about believing in Him, but "believe there is one God." Yes, they believe about Him, that He is real, but do not believe in Him, that would be trust and faith. They know there is a God because they see Him!

One of the greatest oxymoron concepts has to be the acceptance that one can claim to believe in God, then eventually claim not to believe in Him!  To genuinely have faith in God is not something one can eventually apostatize from, because faith always produces. Faith can be diminished but never deleted once obtained. Thus, salvation is a constant like faith!

James 1:

5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. 7 For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; 8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Matthew 21:21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.

Romans 14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats,

because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.

Therefore it is simple. From whence come doubts, that lead to sin? The flesh.

Therefore, the flesh must die that the Spirit makes alive. When this happens,

doubts dissolve. This is the Anointing of Daniel that I pray for

and receive when seeking to rightly divide the Word of Truth.

If any doubt this, let them offer a better explanation.

Daniel 5:12 Inasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.

Ask and you will receive. And do not doubt!

Sure, there is a difference between someone who knows God exists but refuses to worship and obey Him, and a person who is convinced there is no God.

Heb 3:12-14  Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.  (13)  But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.  (14)  For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

True, there are no reasons for doubt if you know what you seek parallels God's will and Word. There can be doubt that God will do something, which can be difficult to judge, because we may not know God's will concerning it.

This answers to us "trying the spirits whether they are of God" (1Jo 4:1). We can't go wrong if our intention is to please Him, even if we make the wrong choice about something.

Appreciate the reply! God bless!!

One may claim that they don't believe there is a God, but that's just lying to yourself. According the the below passage, one knows for sure there is a God, but they may not realize it. We can only believe Romans 1:19-20. I imagine there will be many who do not understand the actual meaning of these passages!

Psa 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that does good.
 

Psa 10:4  The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

Rom 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
